Early Settler is Claimed by Death

Mrs. Geo. H. Clark Dies at South Beach Street Home. Had Been in Failing Health For Several Months.

Mrs. L. Miriam Clark, wife of Geo. H. Clark died at the family residence on South Beach Street, Thursday evening of last week. Funeral services were held at the residence at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Conducted by Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Shouse, readers of the Christian Science Church, and the interment was made at Pinewood cemetery.
The funeral was largely attended especially by the older residents of the city to whom Mrs. Clark was best known. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers, tributes from relatives and friends.
Mrs. Clark had been in failing health for several months and during that time had the loving care and attention of her only daughter, Miss Evelyn Clark.
Mrs. Clark was among the earliest settlers of this city, having come to Daytona with her husband and children in 1880 and resided here since that time at the same location on Beach Street.
The deceased is survived by her husband and two children, Miss Evelyn Clark and Dr. Neville H. Clark, both of this city. She is also survived by one sister and three brothers, Mrs. W. H. Edmondson of Holly Hill, Rev. Samuel Eastman of Elmira, N.Y., Everett C. Eastman of Marietta, Wis., and Louis D. Eastman of Menominee, Mich., the two last named being attorneys.
Mrs. Clark, prior to her marriage, was engaged in school teaching. She was married to Mr. Clark at Royalton, Wis., in 1874, and both their children were born in Wisconsin. Mrs. Clark herself was born in Oswegatchie, N. Y., in 1844.
On coming to Daytona Mrs. Clark united with the Congregational Church and continued a faithful and efficient member until prevented by failing health. She organized the Christian Endeavor Society and was its leader for a number of years. She was also a charter member of the Woman's Missionary Society and the W. C. T. U. in which she was an earnest worker. The members of the family and other relatives have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.
